Introduction to small businesses
Do you ever wonder why small businesses even need a website? They are so small and puny why do they need to waste money on a website? Well, you would be surprised. With a website, customers can do so much. This allows businesses to grow and make way more money you don’t know what to do with. Without a website, Your business doesn’t even exist. It’s impossible to get customers without a website. We will dig deeper into this to get a better understanding.
People don’t find small businesses like they used to
First of all people today don’t drive around trying to find small businesses that can fix their problems. When was the last time you found a small business by driving around town? The answer is never. Today people use the internet to find stores and small businesses near them. The only way to be found on the internet is by having a website. So now when people find your business online they can use your service or product. You will start to have customers and you will be seen. A small business without a website is like being in the middle of nowhere. Nowhere to be seen or heard of. That’s what happened with my dad but that’s a story for another day.
They don’t know you
Second of all people don’t walk into a business seeing if you are a right fit. The only way for people to see your business able to fix their problem is with a website. How do people know what your business does? Again it’s like you are in the middle of nowhere. Also if people do somehow find that your business is the right fit for their problem. How can they contact you? They don’t have your phone number, email, or address. It’s like trying to have a conversation with people who speak different languages. A website helps put a potential customer in contact with you. If customers can’t find you, then they will find someone else. When they find someone else you lose money.
Location
Third of all small businesses without a website are restricted to a single location. If your business doesn’t have a website you only gonna be seen by people who live in the area. It’s extremely hard to profit from a small amount of people. You need to expand your location. Having a website enables you to sell anywhere in the world. It expands your location and the amount of people you get. The internet is the largest market being able to put your business on the internet massively increases your chances of getting more customers.
Conclusion
In conclusion, small businesses do need a website. People can’t find information, about what your business does, how it can help them, or how they can contact you. Without a website, it’s like living in the middle of nowhere. Creating a website helps expand your business. You get more customers, increase your market, and expand your location to multiple cities, states, and countries.
